Most external Blu-ray drives can ensure sufficient read and write speeds to read, write and rip CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Therefore, the options we recommend must at least ensure that there is no problem with compatibility.
So first of all, it is better to choose products from famous brands.Īlthough many external Blu-ray drives claim to be plug-and-play on all Mac computers, it turns out that the returns caused by compatibility issues are the most on Amazon, especially for those Mac computers with the M1 chip and the latest OS (Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave). They look like a good choice if you can take the trouble to contact the seller by email for help, and finally, they may have to recommend you to return it for a full refund just because they are not a professional manufacturer at all and cannot provide you with much valuable information. The external Blu-ray drive is much more expensive than an ordinary CD/DVD drive, so we should be as cautious as possible before purchasing.
